　　　The dove tree is a Class I protected plant in China, often referred to as a "living fossil" of the plant kingdom. Commonly known as water pear or mountain ginkgo, it is a relic species from the Quaternary glacial period. With an elegant tree shape, its flower clusters are supported by two large milky-white bracts at the base, which resemble a flock of pigeons spreading their wings when in bloom. Europeans call it the "Chinese dove tree," making it one of the world's most famous and rare ornamental plants.

　　　　Jinfo Mountain is home to an exceptionally large wild dove tree forest, covering a total area of over 300 acres with more than 8,000 individual trees, the tallest of which exceed 30 meters in height. The dove tree forest is composed entirely of this single species, without any mixture of other tree types, and ancient trees over a hundred years old are abundant.
